>I just don't think it is justified to have someone with severe depression (MDD) forego all other treatments and commit to a trial of exercise that lasts for weeks or months. That's what we are talking about here. We aren't debating the desirability of exercise in general. We are not even speaking about the efficacy of exercise as an adjunct to other treatments.
I thoroughly agree. Like I said in my previous post I wouldn't forego other treatments eg medication, in favour of exercise alone. I do support, for myself, exercise as an adjucnt treatment. Really though, I can't say i'm starting an exercise routine as a treament for bipolar disorder. Its more from an holistic health point of view to gain an increased sense of well-being, which in turn if that can aid in the smallest sense to helping me with the illness, then thats a bonus. At the very least I'll feel more pleased with myself when I look into the mirror for self esteem and reduced fat!
I want to finally mention that I have reviewed your website with extensive medication information. I think on your main website I came across photos of yourself with an excellent toned physic. Alot of hard work must of gone into that training, very impressive and a supurb psychic! :-)
Best of luck with starting up risistant weight training again. I've just started myself, the first few days were the toughest, but now the aches and pains are slowly beginning to subside..
